- I recently used Dupre Catering for my husband's retirement/birthday party.While calling caterers and having to leave many messages, I felt confident at first and thereafter every call because my Event … More Coordinator, Amber actually answered the phone. She made herself, along with Chef John, available throughout my event planning. Both were very easy to work with and professional and friendly. They expertly guided me through everything I needed for my event. Service staff at my event were equally professional and helpful.The presentation of the food was beautiful and all of it delicious. Just to name a few of my favorite choices, the chicken salad croissants, prime rib sliders, crab stuffed mushrooms, Mediterranean pasta salad and the VERY best item on my menu, the shrimp cocktail!AND the cocktail sauce, both as good as if not better than at the beach and that is no exaggeration. The quality and quantity of food was top notch and plentiful.Dupre was the perfect choice for my event or any event anywhere. They are family owned with 30 years in business in Columbia. I wholeheartedly recommend this catering service to anyone and they will assure that the menu and service at your event turns out as perfectly as mine. Be sure to order the shrimp cocktail!

- We had such a wonderful experience with Anna and the entire staff at Dupre! This was the first time we used them and they did a fantastic job with our annual holiday party. We'll absolutely return … More each year. 300 Senate was the perfect space, our staff raved about the food, communication was a breeze, and we just overall felt very well taken care of. I'll definitely recommend Dupre to anyone who asks, and we're so delighted to have settled on the perfect spot for our parties :)

- Dupre Catering and Events was wonderful to work with—very flexible as our guest count changed and easy to coordinate with throughout the planning process. Since I live out of town, I especially appreciated … More how smooth they made everything. On the day of the event, the staff were cheerful, kind, and truly fantastic. The food was excellent, and the space was perfect for our rehearsal dinner, including a covered porch where the children could run around and play.

- We had our company Christmas party at Senates End - The Hall, and we couldn't have been more impressed with the staff and the venue. I personally worked with Anna from Dupre Catering and she was … More fantastic. I am located in Michigan and was planning this party for our South Carolina plant, and planning a formal party is stressful being so far away. Anna removed any stress I had and was on top of everything. She was great with communication and provided great recommendations for other vendors in the area for things we needed for the party. Additionally, the food provided from Dupre' Catering was excellent. We had hors d'oeuvres, dinner, and dessert and everything was fantastic. Every person that attended the event complimented how beautiful the venue was, and how amazing the food was. Although we only do this formal Christmas party everything 3 years, we will be looking to book this same venue and use Dupre Catering again, very impressed! Thank you Anna and team for making this our best Christmas party to date!
